I'm not quite sure if this is supposed to be a jab at Andrew. It seems like it's supposed to be, but I don't see it.

Also, I've been in Japanese classes on the mainland so I can totally see that point. In Hawaii, Japanese class is very much like any other language class. You get a good mix of people. In mainland Japanese courses you have only three groups of people: (1) people who want to learn the language (these are very, very rare); (2) the Hawaii/Japanese kids who already know the basics and are just there for the easy A; and (3) the fucking crazy Japanophiles who want to learn it so they can watch anime without subtitles. It's ridiculously frustrating.

And sorry for derailing. Um...my response to the actual topic is to say that...I agree with Halen. That is all.

Yeah, they should all be there. They went down once (server issues) but darqcyde was nice enough to let me know so we got them back up.

And Sam, you're nuts, your comic was great, even without an artist drawing it for you. People still read the archives. Start it up again and you'll already have a fan base (how many comic creators can say that?)
And we'd be happy to give you space on our server to host it even if you didn't want to buy your own. We only use a fraction of what we have._________________"Her kisses left something to be desired -- the rest of her. "

Bizarre and oblique Star Trek reference: For some reason Eminiar VII of "A Taste of Armageddon" comes to mind. Kirk and Spock chance upon some people who are waiting at a door; it opens on a little room, the waiting people go in, the door closes. After a bit, the door opens again, and the little room is empty. I was always curious why Kirk immediately sussed out those things as disintegration chambers, and not, as would have been my first guess, elevators.

Kirk: Spock! Did you see that? I think we're dealing with an elevator here!
